In a recent move, the Trump administration has granted a 30-day extension for New York City to end its congestion pricing program, which has been a topic of significant debate. Officials suggest that the program is having a positive impact on traffic, particularly benefiting bus riders, while raising concerns about its effects on regular New Yorkers and the ultra-wealthy elite. Governor Hochul faces pressure as the federal deadline looms, with some local leaders threatening funding cuts. Despite the extension, the MTA asserts that congestion pricing will continue beyond the federal deadline, indicating a brewing conflict between state and federal authorities.
